This recipe is almost exactly the same as mine. I just use less tomatoes but prepare them the same way. I also think red onion is key to this guacamole. I end up making it when guests are here and "teach" them how to make it because I had so many requests for the recipe. It's kind of like table-side service and entertainment.
